Roughriders trade for Jermaine McElveen; Release two
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have dealt with their lack of depth at defensive end with a trade. They also released two veterans.
The Riders picked up veteran Jermaine McElveen from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in exchange for prospect receiver Lyle Leong Junior.
“He can play end and he can play the three technique,” said head coach Corey Chamblin when asked what he liked avout McElveen. “The big thing is the value of being able to play both.”
Look for McElveen to play both in any given game as well. Chamblin expects McElveen will be part of rotation that will see him move to the inside and outside on any given play.
